"Seeing is believing," a phrase ingrained in many of our childhoods, is used at different times to affirm tangibility.

I wish industries had a lot to offer to tertiary institutions asides giving peanuts for one career day program etc
Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.
As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.
I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.
Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.
We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.
Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.
A new Nigeria must emergeโone where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.
A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO
@OmolewaAbraham That LG autonomy is another problem on its own. Most of our governors are selfish.
I strongly believe that BAT is waiting for second term if he gets elected and he'd be able to enforce a lot of things.
Those governors are selfish mehn.
@OmolewaAbraham Wow. I sent a mail to the ex MTN 9ja CMO (Adia Sowho) asking her to help with internet access on my campus back in uni (2k+ students)
She was helpful, but down the line the folks she referred me to stopped responding. Later research showed that the project was super expensive๐
@OmolewaAbraham ๐๐ ;
I know it's debatable, but he'd have been in the best position to pull these reforms.
Also, I think we are in the consumption to production phase, so anyone who wins has a good foundation to build on.
Heโs not wrong. Learnt in telecoms.
Unlimited data for the masses ainโt real. The infra doesnโt support it.
Itโs why โThrottlingโ exists, your data is either caps by dropping your bandwidth or sell data packages.
Rich people spend thousands of $$ to set up their private infra.
anything that makes you happy, aisha.
I just hope you all can see that no party is a saint and every candidate is fighting for his or her own interest.
@BlehisBack We were criticizing Bulaba for his spending on renovations. Then today I saw this. I was surprised
Many times, I'm always in awe about selective criticism in this country. As how.
Many 9jerians are not patriots.
@osazenoo ๐ hope you are not part of those people that will help someone finish and the person cannot have a different opinion from you politically ๐๐๐ช
I randomly sent a scholarship link to a friend in April and asked her to share it with her younger sister. It was a postgraduate scholarship opportunity for people from her region.
I woke up to the news that her sister was selected. Iโm so happy๐ฅน.
You know, itโs always funny when people portray Obiโs parting ways with PDP and ADC as his being โprincipledโ and refusal to participate in evil politics, because last time I checked, he didnโt leave any of those parties because of their corruption, he left when he realized he wasnโt going to benefit from it.
Peter Obi was in PDP for years, he was well aware of the โdirt and corruptionโ involved, yet he stayed, his โprinciplesโ didnโt make him leave, not until he lost out on the benefit he sought to get from the party, the Presidency ticket.
Same thing happened with ADC when he went back to his vomit to align with the individuals he claimed to have left as a result of their โcorruptionโ, so many people said that nobody who was actually principled against corruption will align with El Rufai, Atiku, Dino Melaye, Malami etc, every single one of them were labelled โAPC/BAT/RONUโ supporters.
He was both unprincipled and a terrible politician because it was not just obvious that joining with such contradicts the ideology of someone principled against corruption, but it was also obvious that joining was a futile attempt because there was no way he was going to beat Atiku at his corrupt game. But what did he do? He went head on.
Now, he didnโt leave ADC as a result of the corruption he saw there, as whenever he was asked about the moral bankruptcy of the corrupt politicians he aligned with, he said โwe are the sameโ and consistently refused to comment on it, but the moment he realized that the corruption in that party was going to lead to him not being Presidential candidate, he left, wasting so much time.
Someone took a mic and said โChurch take back your countryโ in one election, only to partner with the biggest persecutors of the church, El Rufai, Kwakwanso who passed Sharia Law in Kano, or we donโt know what principles are anymore??
A person who had over 6 Million votes with an unpopular party, had 4 Years to build on that momentum in that party, failed to build the party, ran on the first encounter of storm and 3 Years later, found himself in the very same low-level-party position he was in the last election is not just an unprincipled politician but a terrible one.
